"I don't want to be your mate." she tells me. "Why don't you want to be my mate, sweetheart?" I ask, wincing when she growls at me. "Don't fucking call me that." she snaps. "Why?" "Because I can't be Luna." she whispers. Just for a split second, I see pain in her eyes, but the emotion disappears as soon as it came. "You live in a nice house, you have food on the table everyday, and..." My mate shuts her mouth as if she had spoken too much. "Finish what you were going to say." I urge. "I can't." she whispers, tears forming in her eyes. "It's... It's a secret." ************ Josephine Mancini has been abandoned by her family when she was just fifteen years old. Now a senior at her local high school, she tries her best to ignore her family's absence and move on with her life. Archer Stone is the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, the strongest and most feared werewolf pack in North America. He's known for his merciless ways and violent persona. Everyone thinks that he's incapable of feeling love, but in reality, he's just been saving himself for his mate. The only problem when he meets his mate is that Josephine tries to reject him on the spot. Ever since her family left, she hasn't felt the need to have anyone's love or support. She believes that having a mate will only hurt her in the long run and that Alpha Stone will only use her to provide an heir, then dismiss her afterwards. Over the years, she has grown accustomed to living an independent life. Archer wants to begin his first romantic relationship with his mate, but he has to prove to Josephine that not everyone she loves will abandon her before they can start dating. She doesn't believe that she's fit to be Luna and that her reputation will cause problems. Lunas don't get failing grades, work three jobs, or struggle to pay rent. Will Archer be able to show her that love isn't always a bad thing? Or will Josephine keep her financial and family problems to herself?

✨Previously called Ruthless✨ He's cold hearted, dangerous, and not one to be messed with. Leandor the alpha of midnight shadow pack has a reputation for getting what he wants whether you give it to him willingly or not. He fears no one but everyone fears him until a lone soul wanders on his territory. She's been on the run for what seems like ages. Fear is the only thing driving her to keep moving forward. Traveling with only her older sister she hopes of finding refuge, but that all goes out the window as they both end up crossing over into one of the strongest packs' territory. Mia and her sister Elena think after everything, that this is the end, that their past had finally caught up to them.... But that's not the case as Mia lays eyes on a killer, an alpha. Yet he's not just any alpha, he's alpha Leandor, and he's Ruthless. Just Mia's luck.... They're mates. Excerpt from book: "Get up Mia. It's time to go." Leandor told me staring patiently for me to move. I brought my knees up to my chest and hugged them lightly. "Then go. No ones stopping you." I reminded him. He growled and went to grab me. I raised an eyebrow and somehow it stopped him. I don't know why but it did. Not only that but everyone seemed to stiffen as well. "Are you testing my patience?" He asked with a menacing undertone to his voice. "Well seeing as you'd fail any test I give you, then yes I'm testing your patience." I replied sarcastically. He growled at me and pulled me to my feet in one motion. I strained to keep my composure. Two angry wolves is something to reckon with especially one being an alpha. "Are you calling me stupid?" "Well I'm definitely not calling you smart, now am I?" I smirked crossing my arms. Cover by: SilverAmy Copyright 2014 Completed 2019
